OPERATION
• Remove the protective film from the inside
and outside surfaces of the lens.
• With normal (non-welding), ambient light
viewing through the lens, the view will
have a slight green tint. When exposed to
bright light or the flash of the welding arc,
the lens will quickly darken your view.
The Sensitivity, Delay Time and Shade Range
switches are located at the upper panel of the
viewing area inside of the Welding Helmet and
are adjustable as follows:
(FIG 1)
.
SENSITIVITY
Controls the Auto-darkening response when
exposed to smaller arcs such as low-amperage
TIG welding and conditions like welding outside
in bright sunlight.
To Adjust Sensitivity:
Slide Sensitivity Switch to the High “H” position to increase sensitivity for low
amperage welding. Slide Sensitivity Switch to the Low “L” position when welding in sunlight or bright
ambient light.
DELAY TIME
Delay controls the time interval for the Auto-darkening to return to normal view once arc is stopped.
To Adjust Delay Time:
Slide Delay Switch to the Long “L” position to increase the time for the Helmet
to return to normal view after arc is stopped. Slide Delay Switch to the Short “S” position to minimize
the time for the helmet to return to normal view.
FIG. 1
EYE INJURY HAZARD!
Inadequate levels of arc ray shading can cause permanent eye injury.
This helmet is capable of protection up to shade level 13 only. If your
particular welding process emits arc radiation at levels higher than 13,
DO NOT use this helmet and seek alternate protection.
Do not use this helmet for oxy-acetylene welding or cutting processes,
laser welding or low amperage (less than 10 amps) TIG welding.
